Bombay Rickey – Electric Bhairavi (Cowboys & Indian, 2018)
Electric Bhairavi is a wild musical party where operatic vocals meet surf guitar along with Indian music, chicha and Spaghetti Western influences. There is also a quirky John Zorn-esque vibe to the whole album.
The band is based in New York City and features Kamala Sankaram on vocals; Drew Fleming on guitars; Jeff Hudgins on reeds; Gil Smuskowitz on bass; and Brian Adler on percussion.
The highlight of the album is the piece “Electric Bhairavi.”
